Important Reminders for UnitedHealthcare^® Group Medicare Advantage (PPO) Members

Keep the following in mind as you prepare to use your medical benefits in 2016:

Watch for Your New ID Card

As a reminder, UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage (PPO) members receive a new ID card every year. You can expect a new ID card for your 2016 benefits to arrive in your mail at home by January 1, 2016. Please note that your plan number will not change.

Be sure to have your ID card handy when you receive healthcare services so your provider can confirm your coverage and your claims can be processed correctly.

You can continue to use your current ID card through December 31, 2015.

Need to schedule an appointment but do not yet have your new ID card?

Starting in late December, you can print a copy of your 2016 medical ID card from the UnitedHealthcare retiree website. (Please note that this ID card is only temporary; you will receive your new ID card in January.) You will need to sign in or register in order to access the website. Starting in January, your healthcare provider should be able to confirm your coverage directly with UnitedHealthcare.

If you have not received your new ID card by January, contact UnitedHealthcare Customer Care (Member Services) at www.UHCRetiree.com/alcatel-lucent or 1-888-980-8117 (TTY: 711). Representatives are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., local time, Monday through Friday.
